In this video, you’ll learn how to secure Cisco devices using Privileged EXEC mode passwords. The lesson demonstrates the difference between enable password and enable secret, showing how these commands protect access to Privileged mode. You’ll also see why enable secret is preferred, since it uses encryption to store the password securely.

Through a hands-on lab, you’ll configure Privileged mode security step by step, test access restrictions, and understand how password protection helps prevent unauthorized users from making critical changes to the device. The video also explains best practices for managing secure access in real-world networks.

By the end of this video, you will be confident in configuring and testing privilege security on Cisco routers and switches, an essential skill for safeguarding your network devices.
